Abstract

Purpose To provide a side airbag apparatus for a vehicle in relation to a fold-flat type hinge, or other like device, wherein the side airbag is able to effectively restrain the occupant in the region of the seat cushion by deploying quickly to this region. Means The side airbag apparatus includes a front chamber (4), a rear chamber (5), a tether (14) which defines the front and rear chambers within an airbag (2), a connecting passage (3) which connects internal spaces of the front and rear chambers at a lower extremity of the tether, an attaching portion (10) which is provided on an upper rear part of the rear chamber and through which the airbag is attached to a backrest part of a seat, and an inflator (9) installed adjacent to the attaching portion, the inflator generating gas which is supplied to the rear chamber.
